We support the Mansfield Swimming Pool who adheres
to the guidelines from Royal Lifesaving Australia of ‘Safe Pool
Operations’. Which state that any child
under 10 must be actively supervised by someone 16 or older. The club is unable
to supervise these children. Therefore
children under 10 without an appropriate guardian must remain out of the pool
until their training time.

We
support the Mansfield Swimming Pool who has signed onto ‘Watch Around Water
Programme’. This is an aquatic industry
initiative that states that any child under 5 in the water must be within arm’s
reach of a guardian also in the water at all times.
